Bereavement Retreats

Have you or your family lost a loved one? Camp because I said I would offers retreats for grieving individuals or families. Our goal is to assist in you and your family by sharing training on practical resiliency skills and mental health habit to face life's adversities. This space is for you to strengthen and heal in a peaceful environment with recreational opportunities. 

Time Away With Family: Level 1 Program

Families can enjoy nature, outdoor recreation and quality time together without the financial burden of a resort cabin rental. This "Time Away with Family" opportunity purposefully does not include any workshops or guided activities - just quality time with those you love. 

  • What: A 1 to 4 night stay in our resort cabins at no cost. Transportation and food is covered by the attending families at this time.
  • Who: Families who have lost a loved one in the last 24 months. Our goal is to support 150 families a year. 
  • When: Weekdays, weekends and holidays. All year long. Families receive approval for a no-cost stay at camp usually 21 days before the reservation date. 
  • How: Approvals are made based on need, donor funding and property availability. Families must either directly apply or be referred by an individual or a partner nonprofit organization. 

Bereavement Retreat: Level 2 Program

Our camp offers bereavement programs focused on resiliency skills and mental health habits. These programs are 3-days and 2-nights with about 3 to 5 hours of guided workshops and activities each day. There is also lots of free time to relax. All food and lodging is paid for. Sessions include topics like:

▪ Self-Control: Understanding the Four Types of Self-Control
